Avoiding Problems
• Ensure that tool has reached temperature before operating.
• Do not leave tool switched on for long periods without use.
If tool is not to be used for more than 40 minutes, switch off
and restart when required.
• Never lay the tool on its side. Always use stand provided, the
optional bench stand or the suspension unit.
• Only use adhesives designed for use with this tool.
• Never remove a partially used glue stick. This can lead to
irreparable damage.
• Hotmelt glue can be used instead of nails, staples, tapes, and
liquid glues. However they should not be used in place of
structural connections when heavy loads are involved.
• Do not use hotmelt glue for objects that are exposed to
extreme heat. Some glues that can be used in this tool will
soften at 140°F (60°C).

CORRECTION
CAUTION: Do not force adhesive. Clear the tip with a small nail or paper clip.
Extrude the remaining adhesive stick and one new adhesive stick to clear the opening.
Remove the clip and feeder from the track of the applicator. Push the existing adhesive stick
into the white sleeve approximately 3/4 in. (19mm) with a new adhesive stick. Remove the
new adhesive stick before it melts and look into the white sleeve. Look for a thin skin of
adhesive around the inside of the white sleeve. Scrape this skin toward the heat block.
CAUTION: Do not damage the white sleeve. Extrude one adhesive stick to clear the sleeve.
TO AVOID BACKMELT: Observe the Start-Up and Shut-Down procedures. Do not force
adhesive through the applicator.
Refer to preceding paragraph on backmelt.
Replace valve with Repair Kit #9234.
Keep adhesive clean and free of contamination.
